Best Vitamins and Supplements after 60

[over60andusingtrt]

Gents, what do you recommend for a fit, 61 year old guy on TRT for a daily vitamin/supplement regime? I'm currently taking so much stuff, it's getting tiresome keeping up and I sometimes wonder if I'm doing more harm than good. Here is my daily intake minus the quantities.

OMEGA 3 OIL
VIT C,D,E,K,B50
CALCIUM
MAGNESIUM
ZINC
POTASSIUM
ASHWAGANDA
SUPER BETA PROSTATE
DIM
L-CITRILINE
WHEY POWDER
CREATINE
COLLOGEN
TESTOGREENS

I'm also on TC - 120/week, HCG - 1000/week. I feel good, but struggle with getting a good nites sleep and my knees hurt like hell (I have reduced cartilage).

I'd really appreciate hearing what you guys are taking and what works best. Please state your age if you reply.

Thanks!

Steve

I'm going to start back on the creatine.

I'm 50. I take Vit C. A multi a couple times a week. I take the veggie and fruit filled capsules most days.
Starting back on creatine and magnesium today.

Deprenyl: 50 Years of Life Enhancement and Life Extension​

Written by FARER, Leslie J.
When the drug called deprenyl was first developed in the early 1960’s, the Hungarian doctor who synthesized it could hardly have foreseen its widespread therapeutic potential. Over the past half century, deprenyl has gained recognition not only as a clinically proven antidepressant and Parkinson’s treatment, but also as a mental energizer, physical and cognitive performance booster, generalized mood-lifter, sex enhancer, brain protector, and longevity tonic. The age-retarding and performance-enhancing effects of deprenyl have been clearly demonstrated in animal studies, and humans can benefit from these intriguing findings. The drug is not just beneficial in cases of neurodegenerative diseases; the general healthy but aging population can employ low-dose deprenyl to improve quality of life in their middle to late years, fend off physiological and cognitive decline, boost physical, sexual, and mental vigor, and promote longevity.

Deprenyl Preserves the Essential Neurotransmitter Dopamine​

Deprenyl (also known by trade names Selegiline, Jumex, and Eldepryl) exhibits a wide spectrum of pharmacological activity. The first one, for which it is most well-known, is inhibition of an enzyme that breaks down neurotransmitters such as dopamine. (1-5) Let’s take a quick look at the operation of the brain’s circuitry, which depends on the continuous regulation of neurotransmitter levels. In a healthy brain, this achieved by a fine balance between neurotransmitter manufacture from amino acids and breakdown by enzymes. Any disruption of either neurotransmitter synthesis or degradation (or both) can upset the brain’s delicate equilibrium, resulting in mood, psychiatric, or neurological disorders. Here we’re focused on neurotransmitter breakdown, specifically by MAO-B, a member of the monoamine oxidase family of enzymes that degrades dopamine (as well as other brain chemicals such as phenylethylamine (PEA)). Enzymatic degradation is a biochemical pathway necessary for the elimination of used neurotransmitters. MAO-B is essential to brain metabolism, but if its over-activity exceeds the rate of dopamine synthesis, the brain’s dopamine stores become depleted, with disastrous consequences. That’s where deprenyl comes to the rescue: by blocking MAO-B, it prevents the breakdown of dopamine, replenishing the neurotransmitter’s levels in the brain – the crucial mechanism that underlies deprenyl’s success in treating depression and neurodegenerative diseases. Dopamine is central to movement, coordination, sex drive, and cognition, and its production is hindered in these diseases, and also, as we’ll see below, as a consequence of aging.

This is a huge book-length topic but here are a few quick thoughts:

- Read the book Perfect Health Diet (and look a the website for the book as well) and follow the supplement recommendations
- There is another mega-thread here with supplements in general
- At a minimum, I would add glycine to your list, and make sure you are getting your Vitamin D to at least 50. Add K2 if that is not included in the K you are taking.
- Make sure your Vitamin E is the full spectrum form
- I would have an additional list of things on hand to take at the first sign of any infection, minimally including liposomal vitamin c, beta glucans, quercetin, ivermectin and zinc lozenges.
- If the prostate product has saw palmetto, be aware that it can have finasteride-like affects.
- I would eliminate age from your criteria since there is nothing that suddenly happens at age 60 or any other age. Some things may tend to decline with age such as DHEA and vitamin D conversion, but testing and experimentation can tell if/when that applies for you. Focusing on age can become an excuse to underperform so I would leave age out of it.

Thanks, I think have most of the bases covered with the exception of glycine. I may add DHEA as well.

Is there a particular brand of multi-vitamin that you prefer Nelson? In a previous post you also mentioned using Pregnenolone 50mg for sleep.

The cheapest I can find (Usually the "NOW" brand). Ah, thanks for reminding me about pregnenolone (I usually don't think it as a supplement).

I take this one:

Amazon.com

Is this the NOW MV that you use?

 

[Nelson Vergel]

Yes, that is a good one. I take it every other day in the morning (night time dosing makes me pee too many times at night while I am trying to sleep)
